CNN's had plenty of embarrassing episodes-- but this has actually been convincingly debunked.
The "blue screen" is actually the wall of the hotel-- which at the time WAS painted blue.
It does have a studio atmosphere, because CNN basically had a small army of grips and studio techs there at the hotel near the Dhahran airport, miles and miles away from where infantry and tanks were expected to clash.
Plywood and other crap was erected for wind and dust, and monitors and other equipment was set up, making it more of a remote studio, than some raw liveshot out in the boonies. You can hear it in the way the guys are all babbling about their take out orders and so forth.
Not a studio in Georgia, sorry pedes. Was CNN perhaps exaggerating the man's exposure to danger? Maybe. But I would suggest that this was a few stops higher up a slippery slope before they started actually faking liveshots.
Remember when Anderson takes it in the Poooper pretended to be in waist deep water?

He's got the weirdest laugh. It's like he alternates between two. It's as if he has two personalities and both of them are taking turns laughing.
Traitors to humanity
